Federal study proves Conservatives have intolerance, low self-esteem, and possible craziness (generations, extremist)

I've often wondered why extreme right wing types seem to have no appreciation for irony.

Perhaps that is what enables them to tolerate so much hypocrisy in themselves.

Another study confirming the previous:

Is Political Conservatism a Mild Form of Insanity? | Psychology Today

It explains why some people say what they do.

So how do you explain the "insane" behavior of OWS libs compared to the peaceful Tea Party?

Here's a tip for you. Don't believe everything that you read.

And we all know the sheep believe everything the Government tells them.

Yup, good study, and it only cost us a million bucks.

Ya know, when Berkley gets involved to compare character traits in Hitler to character traits in Rebuplicans, then it becomes a sham study right off the bat.


I could conduct a study that shows that because Democrats brush their teeth - and Stalin brushed his teeth - they are the same. But, Obama wouldn't pay me a million dollars for this kind of study.

This is dumb, but Democrats who actually think that this study is worthwhile, and who think it is so valid that they would actually post a thread about it are just mad.

Very true but the progs here don't think that there is enough money wasted in things like this that it would do anything about our debt. They don't understand that if you take out everything like this we might be able to balance our budget.

The funniest thing about this one is that Byron York is not even close to progressive and since he wrote his article for the National Review anybody who can't see why he wrote it isn't really too quick of mind.

You people are ridiculous. You can't possibly fathom an ideology other than your own, that's apparent, but to conduct a BS study to paint people who disagree with you as clinically insane is a new low, even for you.

I say again what I've said before - nothing is more dogmatic than modern day liberalism.

Apparently they've been eating the flies from the fermented beers....

Think about that for a second.

Well trying new foods is an integral part of open-mindedness. It's our fault for not eating the flies, being ignorant and frightened of change and all.

I'm sure that if you searched hard enough, that you could find a study that proves all Democrats have homosexual tendencies and are unpatriotic, plus inept and unwholesome.
